Re: [orca-list] Asus 701 Lubuntu won't boot

[unix <isfeldt gmail com>]

Hello, I have one of the original asus netbooks which came with xandros 
on it.  My limit was 4 gig space on an SSD ubuntu versions higher than 
12.04 and anything having latest unity especially wouldn't even boot, 
and the rest simply wouldn't fit.   install required minimum 5-6 gig, so 
I installed vinux 3.01 or 02 on a 16 gig sd card since nothing aside 
from maybe a cli/base install of kali or arch might have fit on the 4 
gig drive, but this was for my kids so ease of use was at the top of the 
list as well as lots of games they could play.  Think it was ubuntu 
11.04 i installed.  HTH
